looking for a tin foil hat (sorta)
I'm searching for something like this... see picture 1
I've found pike nuts (picture 2) but they are a little too pointy
I'll bet this is a one-off turned piece...but maybe one of you might source it
for me. It needs to be stainless if possible..chrome if not and not protrude more than 1-1.5"... diameter is not that important as long as it's proportional..
It's gonna do what picture #1 is doing
all right Sam.... where are they ?
thanks
John

hmmm... hopefully 'impact' is too strong a word... actuators set the hood down gently and the bullet should line up with the grommet in the lower section.. the bullet is just a 'guide pin' I hope... is that part plastic or chromed metal
